[libreoffice-documentation] Question about audience Getting Started

2015-07-03 Thread Kevin O'Brien
Is the assumption about the Getting Started guide that these are
people new to LibreOffice? I ask because I see some menu options that
a new person would not see, and which the documentation does not
mention (e.g. My Templates).

Thanks,

[libreoffice-documentation] Impress Issue?

2015-07-03 Thread Kevin O'Brien
In reviewing the chapter on Impress in the Getting Started, I ran
across something that looks different from earlier versions. It has to
do with the Layout properties for Handouts. If you open a presentation
in normal view, then go to the Handout tab, the Layout works as
expected. If you then go to another window, like to consult a document
of some kind, when you come back there is an error message:

Properties for the task that you are performing are not available for
the current selection.

If you then click the Normal tab, and then back to the Handout tab,
the usual Layout properties are back again. This is happening on the
Windows 5.0.0.2 version. When I check the earlier 4.2.8.2 version in
Linux, I don't see this behavior. It feels a little like a bug, though
not a huge one. Can anyone confirm this?

If so, do I file a bug, put a note in the documentation, or ignore it?

Thanks,

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] LO in the Mac Appstore

2015-07-03 Thread Jean Weber
LO is definitely available on the Mac App store. Whether, or when,
version *5.0* of LO will appear there is the question. I have not yet
attempted to find out; it's provided by Collabora, not directly by
TDF, btw.

 In your review of chapter 1 of the GS guide you added a comment: Verify
 later: LO 5.0 may be on MacApp store. I am not a Mac user, but there
 was a post today on the User list from someone claiming that I
 downloaded the US version easily from the Mac App store. Can you, or
 another Mac user, confirm this is now possible?

 I am about to return my final edit for this chapter and it would be nice
 to get at least this one signed off for publication.

Re: [libreoffice-documentation] Chapter 6 first draft uploaded

2015-07-03 Thread Jean Weber
Most likely problem is incorrect anchoring, either type or placement
of the anchors. I'm not sure when or if I'll have a chance to look at
the chapter, but perhaps someone else will have time soon.

[libreoffice-documentation] Impress toolbars in 5.0

2015-07-03 Thread Kevin O'Brien
Many of the toolbars that are referenced in the text are docked at the
end of the Standard toolbar and not floating on my 5.0 in Windows
installation. If that was a a setting I made, I have forgotten about
it. If not, it is a change in behavior that should probably be
reflected in the Getting Started guide. Can anyone confirm this
behavior?

Thanks,
